Whitechapel Series 3.............Who else is addicted??

(83 Posts)

It is very rare that i will watch complete series of things. The only ones are A2A and this!!! Who else is watching??

mumatron Mon 30-Jan-12 21:20:55

Me. I've really enjoyed the last series of this.

I rarely get to watch a full series of anything. Except Dr Who and Luther if I'm lucky

I dont normally fancy blondes but i would so give RPJ one!! wink

I love it!

It's one of those series that, if I'm totally honest - isn't the most brilliantly written thing on TV. Like Luther (which I also love), it's a bit hammy.

But it's part of it's charm! It's so brilliant, for so many other reasons, it's entirely addictive and compelling to watch. Love it grin

mumatron Mon 30-Jan-12 21:28:03

Oh RPJ would definitely get one from me grin

betty completely agree about it being a touch hammy.

Its very creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bettybat Mon 30-Jan-12 21:37:26

Did that carpenter have a limp, or is he one of many red herrings??

mumatron Mon 30-Jan-12 21:38:21

My dp hates these kind of programmes so I'm watching alone downstairs.

I'm getting a bit spooked tbh.

bettybat Mon 30-Jan-12 21:38:22

HA! The rival gang line is a total bust!

God. I need to get a grip.

mumatron Mon 30-Jan-12 21:40:26

No he didn't limp. I'm betting the limp is fake to throw them off.

<Also needs to get a grip>

bettybat Mon 30-Jan-12 21:51:47

That suspect is being a bit dramatic!

The guy who is playing the creepy brother was "allegedly" one of those involved in the injunction thingy!!!! wink

And now i know why i recognised the carpenter. He played the young Morse!!!

Can't wait for next week.

As betty says, the ham is part of its charm.

I like RPJ but Phil Davis acts him off the screen. That scene where the nurse/doctor clearly fancied Chandler and ignored Miles; he didn't even say anything but his amusement was written all over his face.

the limping man with photophobia has to be a red herring, doesn't he? And how did he get out of the cell? <ponders> was he hanging on the ceiling when they checked? I think I may fancy Phil Davies a little bit <slaps self>

mumatron Wed 01-Feb-12 18:37:48

I'm thinking there has to be a police man in on it for him to have escaped. Surely the cells must have cctv though?

carernotasaint Thu 02-Feb-12 00:03:13

I think Phil Davis is a fabulous actor and so underrated.
Scrooge i fancy him a little bit too. (blushes)

scroogemcduck Thu 02-Feb-12 09:30:06

I'm thinking some suspension of disbelief needed cos surely the whole station has CCTV...And glad I am not on my own with PD crush, he was ace in Sherlock too grin

mumatron Mon 06-Feb-12 21:09:27

anyone want to hold my hand while I watch tonight?

<wimp>

FlightRisk Mon 06-Feb-12 22:41:14

Can someone help me with this? WHy is RPJ character so closed off?? I know I must have missed something but he seems to have OCD, and he can't interact well with strangers, Why what has happened?? I do love it though.

mumatron Tue 07-Feb-12 07:33:40

flight I'm not sure, I can't remember his character being explained much in the first series.

No wonder her didn't fancy staying in that lizzies place, it was a mess! And she kept grinning at him like a maniac.

FlightRisk Tue 07-Feb-12 11:03:17

haha no I get that I just don't get why he turned down to go for a drink with his friend to clean the office?? confused

RubyLovesMayMay Tue 07-Feb-12 15:30:57

He has OCD. You'll notice him do tiny little things like straighten the coaster/papers on his desk etc

He mentioned on last weeks episode that he has certain methods (cant remember exactly what he said) so he's rather be on his own then be with someone who couldnt fit in with it or something confused

I remember in the last series he had somewhere to go but couldn't leave the office because he was repeatedly switching the lightswitch on/off.

FlightRisk Tue 07-Feb-12 15:34:32

Oh yeah the light switch thing I'm just remembering that.

It must be getting worse because they referred to it more in these last 2 episodes.
